Good morning folks,
I'm sneaking over from the Ford boards.
Question about a Massey Ferguson 35:
Did they all have Live PTO?
I like my Ford 8N because it's so handy for mowing but I'd sure like to upgrade to LPTO.
If I remember these 35s are about the same size as an 8N aren't they.
Appreciate any info.
Jerry

CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE PAINT SCHEME FOR A MF35 GAS Z134? I AM READY TO PAINT THE WHEELS AND RIMS OF A NEWLY RESTORED MF35 BUT EVERY PICTURE OR TRACTOR I SEE SEEMS TO BE DIFFERENT. ARE THE FRONT WHEEL/RIM ASSEMBLY'S PAINTED ALL RED, OR ARE THE RIMS PAINTED GREY? ARE THE REAR WHEEL BOLTS AND RIM BOLT HOUSINGS RED OR GREY? THANKS

Thanks guys, I saw one last summer that a guy was mowing with
and stopped to talk to him. Seemed like a real nice tractor and his did have the 2 stage clutch or LPTO. What I liked about it was it wasn"t much bigger than an N. I think I"ll start looking for one.
Hello Mark, Haven"t seen you in a while.
I hope you are doing well and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Jerry

A 35 doesn't look much bigger than an N or a Fergie, but it is much heavier at 3800 pounds, plus loaded tires. The biggest advantage of the 35, though, is its low gears. In bottom gear at 1200 rpm, the tractor barely makes 1 mile per hour. There are many situations where that creeper gear makes a risky job a lot safer.

At 37 hp, the Perkins diesel plays with a 5' bush hog in hay and brush that would (and did) kill my Ferguson TEA20. It uses very little fuel doing it, too, considerably less than a gallon per hour at pto speed.

I guess I bought a 35 for the same reason that you are attracted to the model. It looked small enough to be useful. Good luck in your search.

I have a 35 with same pto as a ford 8n. My serial number is SGF 226904 Those letters SGF mean something, and one of them means I don't have the two stage clutch. S=Standard G=Gas F=1 stage
clutch . If you have an M, it means 2 stage clutch.

Jerry...by live PTO Can we assume that you mean dual clutch? Not all MF or Ferguson TO or FE 35's had this option only the Deluxe models did. I have to agree with Mark about the Orchard Model(I have one)but one of the Deluxe models would work fine for almost everything.

Hello Jerry go with the MF 135 Orchard and Perkins Gas Engine you allways wonder why you did not do it sooner. I love my 1969 MF135 Orchard Live PTO, Ground Speed PTO, Differential Lock, Posision Control, Disk Brakes, Power Steering, WAY STRONGER Lift & Hydraulics, Beefy Front Axle, ECT ECT and about the same size as a 8N too! Since I bought one I have never had any problems with it and it can do 3 times the work of a 8N Tractor. Mark H.

I've had an 8N since I was 10 - okay, Dad bought it. I love it dearly, and we'll never part. 5 years ago I bought a 135 Massey with Perkins gas. Power steering, live PTO. The 8N sits a lot these days. Every 35 I've seen has live PTO, but the parts manual does show non-live. I highly recommend the 35 series Massey. I'd suggest gas (Continental Z-134) or the Perkins 3 cylinder diesel. Don't get the 4 cylinder Standard diesel - they are trouble. I spent 25+ years servicing farm tractors, own the 2 above and a TO-20 Ferguson. All good rigs, but the MF is by far my favorite. You'll fall in love with the power steering.

Most of the above info is correct, The TO35 came in two models, Standard and DeLuxe. The Deluxe had a dual clutch eg, live pto and hydraulics, deluxe seat and better instrument panel. Power steering was an option. 28" or 24" rears. I have owned many Fergies inc TE20 TEA20 and my favourite TO35 DeLuxe. They came with Continental 134 gas or Perkins 3 cyl Diesel engines. The Standard Diesel 4 cyl had starting problems which put many farmers off Diesels for a while. The TO35 from the mid 1950s was so far ahead of all others it is even today a modern tractor. Today 99% of all farm tractors are Diesel powered.
